"Good setting, situated on Shawano Lake although not directly lake side. The beach is big with a two lane boat launch."
"I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available."
"The tent sites at this camp ground are in the back of the campground located in the woods! There is a small pond with in the campground which you are able to swim in, kayak in and go frogging in!"
"We visited Fawn Lake in 2019 as our first trip with our new RV. Friendly owners, quiet spaces and beautiful wildlife!"

"There’s lots to do the whole weekend whether you want to go hiking, fishing, boating, small cliff jumping, or take a walk to slippery rock."

"Boulder lake is amazing and is located conveniently close to the Wolf river, which has whitewater rafting and trout fishing."
"This is such an awesome campground located right in the Nicole National Forest. The lake is super clean, the sites are very nice, and it’s nice and secluded. Enjoy the drive in!"
"Amenities are very close by, as are facilities for games and entertainment."
"This campground is in the town of Oconto, on the Oconto river, with easy access to fishing and kayaking. The train goes through town in the early morning hours and blows its horn multiple times."
"I have said for years that nothing beats the sunrise over Lake Michigan. This park has just that. Pristine waterfront over looks the Green Bay with clear views towards Door County."
"The park boasts a few varied trails that stretch throughout the area. A few trails go through what is though to be a massive mass burial pit of the Copper Culture that could be older than 5000 years!"
"I grew up about 10 minutes away from this campground and it is still an awesome place to go when we are looking for a “staycation”!"
"The fire pit was away from the level area the RV is to be parked. The electric and water were a little farther away than typical but not too bad."
"nice campground a lot like chute pond. nice sites all covered by trees. trails close by for short hikes."
ScoutWe had an amazing time at Wolf River Trips and Campground! From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. The check-in process was incredibly easy and well-organized, which made settling in stress-free. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and clearly take pride in what they do—they made us feel welcome right away. One of the biggest highlights was how clean the bathrooms were. You can tell they stay on top of maintenance and cleanliness, which is a huge plus when camping. It’s rare to find campground facilities that are this well taken care of. The food was another unexpected bonus! Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying something more hearty, everything we had was tasty and well-prepared. It really added to the overall convenience and enjoyment of the trip. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, easy, and clean outdoor getaway with great people and good food!
TravelerThe management is awesome, the sites are large or very large. 10 are riverfront, amazing. It’s clean, well kept, bathrooms are updated, love this place.
Guide4x4 recommended. 2wd truck couldn't make it easily.
GuideTent and some pull through sites spaced down the road. Maybe 4-6 total
ScoutGreat spot, lots of trails, and the bathrooms were clean. Only gripe is the uncertain schedule they have for turning on water for the season. First week or two of may is a safe bet, but no promises. They have pit toilets open year round whatever the case
ScoutThis was a great trip to escape into the wilderness. Vault toilets were clean, centrally located and close to the hand pump well. Plenty of space at each of the sites. Some of the sites were right on the river while the ones uphill had horse fences. The road in was a little muddy but not bad enough to get stuck. My only complaint was the amount of trash in the fire pits. They have plenty of trash cans all around. Hopefully future campers start using them!
ScoutThe CG was very clean with clean pit toilets. Upper and lower. Lower was near river. Nice trail along river to falls. Water pump by site 1 in upper area. Good base area for fishing the Pike river.
LegendGreat place to stay! Big rig friendly! Gravel pads and each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms in the campground were clean and I believe there were showers.
LegendGeneral/Site Quality: Small (35-site) campground on the west shore of the Bay of Green Bay; some have water and electricity, and some just have electricity. Sites 14-23 are on grass while the others have paved camper pads. All are level and very generous in size. While they don’t necessarily have a physical separation between them, sites are spaced a good distance apart from each other. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. In the center of the loop, there are some nice mature trees.
Bath/Shower: At one end of the loop, there is a two-stall, one-sink restroom for each gender plus two showers; at the other end of the loop there are two vault toilets. All were clean.
Activities/Amenities: There is quite a bit to do here. Fishing, boating (separate fee for the boat launch), swimming, kayaking (but you need to bring your own – although the literature says there are boat rentals, I did not see this). There is a nice playground and a smaller swing set; both are in different locations behind campsites, making it a bit awkward to access. In the day-use area, there is a fish cleaning station, a basketball hoop, and a somewhat dated playground. There used to be a volleyball area, but the net was no longer there. Self-serve firewood is available. There is a dump station.
The fee of $20 per night was very reasonable and our stay was very quiet and peaceful for a campground that was about 2/3 full on a Monday after Father’s Day.
